  • Review plant capacity and labour requirements.
  • Recommend equipment, tooling, facility, maintenance, and capital improvements.
  • Quality, Safety & Continuous Improvement
  • Ensure manufacturing activities meet drawings, specifications, procedures, codes, and customer requirements.
  • Support ISO 9001:2015 quality system requirements.
  • Promote a safe, clean, organized, and professional manufacturing environment.
  • Work closely with Health & Safety to identify hazards and implement corrective actions.
  • Drive continuous improvement in workflow, production flow, capacity, quality, cost, and delivery.
